Singapore Airlines to Increase Fuel Surcharge

As a result of the continued escalation in the price of jet fuel recently, Singapore Airlines is increasing its fuel surcharge for tickets issued on or after 26 March 2008.

The new levels will apply to Singapore Airlines and SilkAir flights as follows:

• On regional routes, US$30 (from US$26) per sector, for flights between Singapore and ASEAN countries.

• US$130 (from US$123) per sector, for flights between Singapore and gateways in the United States and Canada on a single-sector basis; and

• US$80 (from US$75) per sector, on all other flights.

The new surcharge is subject to official approval in some markets, and some local variations may apply where regulatory approvals dictate.
